About this property

Secluded Ranch Cabin between Garner and Lost Maples

Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is one of two cabins available on Four Sisters Ranch. (Kat's Kabin is the 2nd.) This is a large cabin with two queen beds on one end and a full kitchen on the other. A smart TV and a couch are in the middle of the
Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is nestled in the Texas Hill Country at 1848 Lemond Rd. about 7 miles from Utopia, Texas. The location is between Lost Maples State Natural Area and Garner State Park! We invite you to enjoy our ranch cabin and hike, bike and explore 500 acres of a working family ranch.

Sip your coffee on the back porch with a fantastic view. This is a perfect place to unwind, make s’mores around the fire pit, star-gaze, enjoy the fresh country air and escape the stresses of the city.

You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds. Fire Flies are often seen during the summer months.

Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia, the cabin is 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 miles away.

Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!

Dine at The Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Utopia has several cafes and sometimes great BBQ on Saturdays at Big Ern's.

The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.

Other Things to Note; For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. We might consider a one night booking. Send us an inquiry.

Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T works and it is spotty.

You can also rent Kat's Kabin #913458 if you would like to bring another family with you. It is about .2 miles away.

Although the cabin is secluded, you may hear the family gathering nearby sometimes in the summer and on holidays.

Our cabin sleeps 4 on two queen beds. No more than four people and one dog are allowed unless you have prior approval by the owner. There is a full kitchen and bath. There is a smart TV with DVD player and a large selection of movies for you to enjoy. We have internet! There is a large porch on the front and back of the cabin where you can relax and watch the wildlife come to the feeder.

Note: Since the cabin is one large room, it is not suitable for young children who need a separate place to nap. Our porches do not have rails so we are not an ideal place for toddlers.

If you want to visit the State parks you must make a reservation online 30 days in advance.

GPS is not always accurate. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue (passing through 4 cattleguards) until you get to 1848. There is a rock sign on your right. Follow the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Getaway

This is our second time at the 4 sister’s cabin. Kat was such a gracious host. Even had a load of cranberry bread when we arrived. So enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the deer. Such a beautiful view!! Will definitely be back for a third time.

What a wonderful, relaxing 3 night getaway in the woods. Especially liked all the little extras such the bird feeders, the deer feeder, and the porch/lawn furniture, which helped to just sit back and enjoy the great outdoors. Also, the pumpkin bread was delicious. Thanks for being such a great hostess.

Amazing place

Kat and her husband, Butch, are gracious hosts. They offered us a tour of their working ranch which was a fascinating look at the flora of this hill country property. The cabin was one of the quietest and cleanest in which we have ever stayed. Utopia with its quaint shops and restaurants is only 15 mins away. Yhis is a GREAT place to stay in the Hill Country River Region! We will be back.

Cutest house I’ve ever stayed in!

This is just a very relaxing area & the house is perfect size for a couple of friends or a couple. The wildlife is wonderful. The back porch was where I spent most of my time watching deer, birds, rabbits & maybe a squirrel or two. The house is beautifully decorated & had everything we needed. Coffee pots, pans for breakfast, dishes, wineglasses. Stream your own shows on the tv if you want. We had a wonderful stay & I plan on returning! Host was very helpful anytime I had a question.

Beautiful and Peaceful

We were looking for some peace and connection with nature and this cabin was perfect! So cozy and cute! Comfortable furniture and temperature inside, all the towels, linens and soap provided. Just bring your food if you want to cook! The best thing about the cabin is the outside! Two big porches with views of local wildlife and the beautiful hills and surrounding meadows. We saw deer, birds, dragonflies, rabbits, and more. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, with campfires and a connection to nature, look no further!

A Hill Country Gem!

The cabin was perfect! Every beautiful detail giving us insight into the life and history of a Hill Country ranch. The grounds with its many bird feeders and wildflower gardens provided a rich experience. We saw about 40 species of birds on the cabin grounds and a total of 81 species including the surrounding areas! Driving on farm roads carpeted in wildflowers was a delightful plus. Highly recommended for anyone - nature lovers or birders especially! A real paradise!!

Way Exceeded Our Expectations

Quiet, solitude, peace, deer, turkey, songbirds, hummingbirds, and rural wildlife are words to only begin a description of the Four Sisters Ranch. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and everything worked. It is obvious the owners take pride in this cabin and the overall property. You too will notice lot's of attention to small details. In summary, this property way exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning and would not hesitate to highly recommend the Four Sisters Cabin.

Girls weekend

We have been wanting to stay at this property for a long time even before we moved to the Hill Country. The house is even nicer than the pictures. The view is amazing. You immediately feel at home. They have thought of everything you need and the beds and couch are comfortable. The bathroom is spacious. We especially loved the two separate porches one in the front and one in the back both have beautiful views although in the back you see a lot more wildlife. The family is wonderful as far as having feeders for hummingbirds and other birds as well as a flock of turkeys that come and hang out all around the house And then go down and eat at a feeder below it. The black buck are absolutely beautiful that come to the feeder too. While we were there, it rained one night and it was really neat to hear the rain hitting the roof but then the next morning we could still go walking. Strongly suggest going to the stock pond where you can immediately find fossils of clam shells. We even found some pieces of Nautilis fossil. The variety of wildflowers is wonderful and we even found some we don’t have even though we live only an hour north of the property. The owners provide you with a binder about the history of the property, which is rich and also a map so you can easily find the stock pond and other places to go to. Great for walking and hiking as well as you can drive to a lot of of the locations like we did and then just hike around those area. It is amazing to see moun

Amazing!!!

My husband, dog and I had a perfect stay at Four Sisters Cabin. The property is so beautiful and serene. I could have spent all day on the back porch watching the wildlife and listening to the birds. The cabin is conveniently located between Lost Maples and Garner State Parks. I would visit again just to spend more time at the ranch. The cabin is very clean and had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us!

Just what we were looking for.

This place is a gem. A wonderful, secluded gem. The cabin sits by itself, surrounded by nature with no one else around. Very quiet. However, within about 30 minutes give or take you can be at Garner State Park or our favorite, Lost Maples Sate Natural Area. The hosts are very accommodating.

What's unique? Birds and wildlife are abundant! Our place is only for people who want to be immersed in nature and get away from the hectic city life for just a bit!
